And they will need a Very secure matrix system to distribute these from, to
prevent hacking attempts.
My take on the book chips is a basic optical chip with the book burned into
it, but no file system, and the book itself can't be loaded onto any normal
computer, to prevent basic means of piracy. The chip would have to be
copied completely to pirate it.
This shall probably work its way into TSS-04 :)
